Relax is a two part set consisting of a wearable wrist device and a docking station to provide a holistic way of relaxing. Targeted towards working stressed professionals who are always on the run.
The wrist device is a sleek wristband that can be worn without it interfering work. It would also easily blend in with what one wears and making it very versatile. Based on artificial intelligence and haptic design the device works on the principle of our hearts naturally beginning to sync with the hearts of other we hold or hug. In the same way a unique heart beat would be created which would help the users heart rate to sync slowly to the heartbeat and into a relaxed state. The beats when felt, would also work on the stress pressure point on the wrist to mildly release the pressure. Along with this, one could insert a scent pad into the device to experience aromatherapy, which would also work towards the healing process.
The second part of the product (docking station) would come into use as soon as the wrist device connects to the dock. It will transfer the daily readings of the persons mood variations and with its embedded artificial intelligence, appropriate music will be played and LED lights will be turned on and respective colors and patterns will change based on the predictions of the integrated machine learning models according to the read data. The user can also add the music of his or her choice to expand the internal database of collections according to specific genres and the dock will automatically set the high threshold for limiting the decibel output of the speakers. Lastly, the Dock will also be used to charge the internal cells of the wrist device.
Relax was exhibited at the LASALLE Graduate Show '13
